right, did a clean up, unplugged the fan, and now to see how hot it'll go
if it reaches 70 i'll need to stop
@Gareth: the only obviously faulty thing is the video card, and you can pop it out and run it with integrated graphics. Its a HORRIBLE video card, and part of the same family as the nvidia laptop ones that were failing due to heat

Can't we warn people when they try to include their name in their post near the end?

If you've ever right-clicked something in Windows (yes! you can do that!), and you're like me, you'll have noticed that sub-menus are always slightly higher and inset into the parent-menus.
Wouldn't it have been easier and cleaner looking to make it like:

As a precursor to adding decline reasons for suggested edits we have added decline reasons for moderator flags.
Because flagging for moderator attention can result in some fairly severe unilateral action by mods (suspension, deletion, rep loss, etc) these decline reasons are private. They are di...
hmm. got a 500 gig hard drive. Fan replacement (30 bucks... second hand... o0) and video card (the 30 quid one was DP only, so it was out) didn't work out
This has happened a few times on our staff laptops. A user has recieved a .doc attachment in Outlook 2007 but when they double click on the attchment it opens word but not the attachment (such as the image below). This can also affect word documents in the computer, i.e. desktop, and in work area...
> I agree with Joel Spolsky's opinion on this (from all the podcasts): that is, asking the same question with different wording and different levels of detail raises the likelihood that someone will find or understand my question (and answers in the future via google)
the majority of people are fine with edits (they see the question/answer is improved!) but it's the weird majority who take massive offence from them - I never understand it. especially when each contribution is under Creative Commons anyway
> Cut-and-paste duplicate questions. These questions are the very definition of exact duplicates; they are typically from users who willfully take the very same question and post it again. Either they’re not satisfied with the speed of answer, or they just don’t know what they’re doing. We rely on Stack Overflow users to vote down these “questions” and flag them for moderator attention
@Gareth heh. I wrote a quick mail to Posterous to have that account deleted.
> The sshuttle app makes extremely easy to get around IP based restrictions on accessing sites. You just need a host in the target country (fortunately this blog is hosted in the US, so that’s what I used)
right, the dell is as runnable as i can make it within my budget. now just need to wait for MSDNAA to see if windows 7 will run stably on that card, or if i need to go integrated.

@Gareth hehe! I don't know if it is any help, but, I am happy to give you the login details to my tinypic account (I don't use it since the site now uses imgur)... I tried looking for that office one, but, couldn't find it anywhere :( tinypic is quite bad at organising/showing date... it keeps in date order but doesn't say when
@Gareth hehe... sorry :( I think the question was significantly different, but... it required the same answer (or part of one) so, I did copy and paste that section quite a few times...
@JourneymanGeek well, I thought it was a good question, just written badly... I have answered and I will try to tidy up his question after I have finished a couple of phone calls

Can I hide any of the sharing buttons? I don't use LinkedIn or Facebook to share questions, but I occasionally use Twitter.
